Felt Roofs

Torch-On Felt Roofing

Felt is the traditional covering for flat roofs and is still a hard-wearing choice, especially where a roof sees regular foot traffic. Older felt roofs fail when the top layer weathers away, seams open or the decking underneath softens after years of water sitting in dips.

A new felt roof starts with the old covering and any rotten boards removed. Sound decking goes down with a fall towards the gutter, then the felt is torched on in bonded layers, finished with a mineral cap sheet and dressed up every upstand and edge.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Us for a Felt Roof

A felt roof built on sound decking and finished properly where it meets walls and edges.

Layers Bonded Properly

Each layer is torched and bonded to the one beneath, so the roof acts as one covering, not a stack of sheets.

Handles Foot Traffic

Torch-on felt with a mineral cap copes well where a roof is stepped on for gutters, windows or maintenance.

The Fall Corrected

Dips where water sat are taken out at the decking, so rain runs off rather than pooling on the new felt.

Owner on Every Job

Evian Roofing is owner run, so the person who quotes your felt roof is the one responsible for the work.

FAQs

Felt Roof Questions

What Is a Torch-On Felt Roof?

A torch-on felt roof is built up from layers of bitumen felt that are heated with a torch so each layer bonds to the one below, finished with a mineral cap sheet that protects it from the weather.

Can My Felt Flat Roof Be Repaired?

Local splits, blisters and lifted seams can often be repaired if the decking underneath is sound. When the felt has worn out across the roof or the boards have gone soft, a new roof is the better option.

Is Felt or Rubber Better for a Flat Roof?

Felt is tough underfoot and suits roofs with regular foot traffic. Rubber membrane goes down with few or no joints and stays flexible in hot and cold weather. The right choice depends on the size, shape and use of your roof.

Why Does My Felt Roof Have Bubbles in It?

Blisters usually form when moisture or air is trapped between layers or under the felt. Small blisters can sometimes be repaired; widespread blistering normally means the covering is reaching the end of its life.

Can a Felt Roof Be Laid in Winter?

Felt needs dry conditions to lay properly, so work is planned around the weather. A dry spell is usually enough, even in the colder months.
